Dear Mudit,

I see from your profile that you would like to start with funm and later 
move to sqrtm and logm. expm is not mentioned. On the other hand, I have 
much more experience on that, it does not require C programming (I see you 
consider yourself familiar with C/C++ but not with make, gcc, ..., 
mercurial), there is already a free code to start with (right, Carnë? I'm 
speaking about expm_new) and I personally consider it more useful than the 
other matrix functions (although it would be nice to hear the opinion of 
other maintainers/users). In case, would be it possible for you to start 
with expm and later move to the other matrix functions?

Best regards,

Marco
